Fluids must move within piping systems in a safe and efficient manner, and it is pipes, joints, and valves, that allow this to occur. But what are joints?
A joint can be welded, screwed, or bolted. This course covers the topic of bolted joints within piping systems. Specifically, you will learn about flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, which are the essential components of bolted joints.
This is an ideal course for anyone working in the Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, or Chemical Engineering industries, but it is also useful for any working engineer (flanges are everywhere!).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define common flange terminology and nomenclature.
- Identify common flange types, including welding-neck, slip-on, and lap-joint flanges.
- Explain how flanges function in piping systems.
- Describe the roles of piping codes, standards, and specifications.
- Identify organizations and standards relevant to piping, including ASME, ASTM, ANSI, ISO, EN, and API.
- Distinguish among common pipe types, including seamless and welded pipe.
- Identify common pipe-end configurations, including beveled and threaded ends.
- Explain nominal pipe size (NPS).
- Describe pipe schedule and its relationship to wall thickness.
- Explain pressure class designations, including Class 150 and Class 300.
- Identify common flange materials.
- Distinguish among flange-face types, including flat-face and raised-face designs.
- Describe common flange surface finishes, including smooth and serrated finishes.
- Compare concentric and spiral serrated flange surfaces.
- Explain flange surface roughness designations, including AARH and Ra.
- Identify common gasket types, including soft, hard, and composite gaskets.
- Describe common fastener types, including bolts and studs.
- Identify common weld types, including butt and fillet welds.
- Explain nondestructive testing methods and their applications.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
